The 'Obama Girl' is Back for a 'Second Time': Introducing the Woman Behind the Notorious Political YouTube Role
Magazine, The Associated Press and AOL, "I've Got a Crush...On Obama,"

political videos in America in 2007. After a special guest appearance on
Saturday Night Live and earning the #1 bit on E! Channel's "Hottest Women
on the Web" list, this viral vixen -- who originally gained ill fame for
her presidential candidate-loving performance -- is ready to evidence another
side of herself besides her character by revealing herself to the music
world as Amber Lee, the refreshingly real woman slow the aphrodisiac political
mockery. With a proven ability to incite the youth of America to take
notice of today's important political mood, she's excited to cause a
stir yet once again with the release of her low gear single, "Second Time."
Although Amber's office as the "Obama Girl" remains an active and
passionate one -- her upcoming appearances at the Democratic National
Convention prove to be a continued exposition of her enthusiasm for the
character -- she is excited to inaugurate her fans to her musical tastes and
talents outside of that persona. Silver Curve Records was among the first
to take notice of not only her talent, simply also her down-to-earth and
driven behaviour; quickly adding Amber Lee to their roster, and getting her
into the studio to prep and produce her soon-to-be-released debut solo
album. With her album preparations under way, Amber has focused on
showcasing her vocal talents -- beyond just her lip-syncing glory -- in
front of fitting audiences, including a recent performance during the
Pennsylvania Primary Election in Harrisburg, PA alongside "Crush on Obama"
singer and co-collaborator, Leah Kauffman.
"Second Time," which is now available on iTunes, was produced by Sky
Hardasmal, Tommy J. Baldwin, and Jonny Roszak for Silver Curve Records, and
highlights Amber Lee's sultry R&B vocals in a pop stupefy song that is
handily aimed to take over radio airwaves this Fall, as the heat of
November 4th (Election Day) approaches us. However, don't be surprised to
hear different styles of music infused in her forthcoming record album; she's
preparation to let her eclectic taste assume her music wherever it may, and that
may even admit her possess musical escort, as Amber is as well a skilled
alto saxist.
Ever modest, Amber Lee, who is already part of the new epoch of "internet
super-celebrity spawns," seeks to further that fame by initially releasing
her music electronically, keeping with the trend of her development online
supremacy. When asked why she has distinct to venture into the
always-competitive pop music industry at this time, Amber Lee thoughtfully
replied, "Most people live me as the Obama Girl, and that's merely part of
who I am. 'Obama Girl' is my character, and it's both a part and a cause I
love dear, but Amber Lee, the singer, is completely separate. I require to
establish that I have natural endowment, showcase my voice, and let people see for
themselves that I'm more than simply the character I portray."
When asked about their newest artist, a representative from Silver
Curve Records commented, "We recognised right forth that Amber Lee had a
exceptional rapport with audiences. Singing was a natural denotation of the many
slipway that she communicates with her fans." And to keep giving her fans more
of what they want, she's got a season filled with nightspot performances,
promotional appearances, the release of "Second Time" and her new
promotional video on YouTube which can be found at
